Does the LaF actually use Gtk+ or just emulates the look? And if it uses Gtk+, does it use the common library or some private copy? AFAIK Java 1.5 Gtk+ LaF is Synth-based. > Just to be clear, GTK is installed > with Red Hat OS correct? In a typical installation, yes.

First of all, pkg-config is intended for *compile time* detection, and .pc files are in the develoment package, not in run-time, you can't detect Gtk+ run-time with pkg-config (of course if you installed everything, you should have the development package too, but maybe you did not install really everything). So if you want to detect the run-time, forget pkg-config and run something like this: #include <dlfcn.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { void *gtk; int *maj, *min, *mic; int status = 1; gtk = dlopen("libgtk-x11-2.0.so", RTLD_LAZY); if (!gtk) return 1; maj = dlsym(gtk, "gtk_major_version"); min = dlsym(gtk, "gtk_minor_version"); mic = dlsym(gtk, "gtk_micro_version"); if (maj && min && mic) { printf("%d.%d.%d\n", *maj, *min, *mic); status = 0; } dlclose(gtk); return status; } (needs dlopen(), i.e. Linux, BSD, or something like that) or just do printf("%d.%d.%d\n", gtk_major_version(), gtk_minor_version(), gtk_micro_version()); but such a program has to be linked with the lowest acceptable version of Gtk+ to make sense, then it can be run on systems with higher Gtk+. Or depending on what you do, you can ask the package management system... Generally, the answer to the run-time environment question `if I run something using Foo, what version of Foo it will get dynamically linked with' is to actually do it and check the outcome.
